Chapter 153 You Can't Get Married
"I am not that casual."
Yun Wanye lazily lay on the back of the chair and replied nonchalantly.
On weekdays, he was particular about even the clothes he wore, paper, ink, brushes, inkstones, tea sets, incense and other supplies. He would never use anything he didn't like, let alone women.
Life is short, and in this life, of course you should marry the one you love.
Otherwise, how can we live like this?
"See? You don't want to marry the one who wants to marry you. If that's the case, why can't you spend some time trying to please the princess?"
Yun Wanyao spread her hands and tried to persuade him earnestly.
"The princess is of noble birth and good looks. Although according to the laws of our Dawu Kingdom, anyone who marries a princess cannot serve as an official in the court..."
"But there are so many people. There are so many men who don't want to be in the court. Aren't you afraid that after the princess cancels her engagement, another man will come along and take her away?"
Bang!!!!
As soon as she finished speaking, he became completely angry, slammed the table heavily, narrowed his eyes and spoke angrily.
"Let's see who dares!!!"
He spent a lot of time and effort setting up the plan, and finally kicked Lu Huaijin out completely, not to make things easier for others.
If anyone dares to steal his fruits without any eyes, he will make sure that person's entire clan is not left in peace.
Yun Wanyao: “…”
Tsk, look at his angry look, it's really a bit scary.
But she is not afraid.
"Why not? The princess is already of marriageable age. If the engagement is cancelled, she will be free. Naturally, anyone can propose to her."
"To take a step back, even if no one actively proposes to marry you, you should not forget that the princess is the emperor's most beloved sister. An elder brother is like a father, and the emperor will definitely choose a new husband for her."
"The people chosen by the emperor himself must be excellent in terms of talent, character, family background and appearance~"
"Who knows, in a few days, I will win the princess' heart and be inseparable from her."
"If that time comes, do you still want to attack the person personally selected by the emperor?"
"Oh, if you don't work hard now, when the time comes, it will be too late to regret and you won't even have anywhere to cry. Just be proud!"
Every word was a pearl, every sentence was heart-piercing! Yun Wanyao sneered, deliberately adding fuel to the fire, and then stood up to leave.
The more he listened, the darker his face became. Yun Wanye's brows were tightly knitted together. Seeing that she was about to leave, he finally became anxious and hurriedly reached out to grab her arm.
"etc!"
The evil plan succeeded, Yun Wanyao curled her lips, and a smug smile flashed across her eyes.
But she did not give up her attitude immediately. When she turned to look at him, all the smiles on her face had disappeared, leaving only a look of impatience, which was a perfect disguise.
"what?"
Yun Wanye: “…”
He coughed and said awkwardly, "Don't leave yet."
Pretending not to see the anxiety on his face, Yun Wanyao pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"
"Sir, you know the answer but you still ask. Sit down."
He gritted his teeth and pulled her towards the chair.
Yun Wanyao was unable to withstand his strength at all and was pulled back heavily onto the chair. Her buttocks were hit so hard that she burst into tears and kicked him with her legs.
"Yun Wanye, go to hell!!!"
"Don't forget that you are the daughter of the Ningguo Mansion. Please behave like a lady."
He easily grabbed her calf and threw her to the ground casually. His revenge failed, and Yun Wanyao angrily retorted to him.
If you can't win with your hands, you can't keep losing with your mouth.
"You are the second son of the Ningguo Mansion, why can't you be more gentlemanly? Why should the daughter of the first wife be dignified, while the son of the first wife can do whatever he wants?"
Hearing this, Yun Wanye was not angry at all.
He sneered and said, "You want to get married, but I, first, will not inherit the Duke's Mansion, second, I don't have to get married, and third, I don't have to rely on anyone to survive. The strong can naturally do whatever they want."
Yun Wanyao: “…”
She was so angry, but she couldn't refute what he said.
Although I have known for a long time that in my younger sister's previous life, the world was equal between men and women, women could be independent and strong and live a good life without getting married.
But she is not a woman from my younger sister's world, and she dare not even think about not getting married.
If she really doesn't get married, who knows how people will laugh at her parents and the Duke's Mansion in the future.
Even the eldest brother Yun Wanye and the younger sister were embarrassed by this.
Alas, I suddenly envy the women in my younger sister’s previous life.
The more he thought about Yun Wanyao, the more depressed he became. Seeing her unhappy look, Yun Wanye felt a rare sense of guilt in his heart and took the initiative to admit his mistake to her.
"Okay, don't be angry. I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have hurt you with such great force. I admit my mistake. If you can't get married in the future, I will support you for the rest of your life, okay?"
"Oh, you actually admit your mistakes. Are you finally finding your conscience? That's really rare."
Yun Wanyao raised her eyebrows and looked at him in surprise.
It was obvious that these words were meant more to insult him than to praise him, but Yun Wanye didn't care at all.
They are her own family, so she can do whatever she wants to hurt them.
"Wait, who are you talking about who can't get married? I'm telling you, I won't be unable to get married, you will be the one who can't get married."
This is like a tongue twister.
Her reaction time was very long, and she only now suddenly realized the second half of his sentence. Her arrogance instantly escalated, and she glared at him angrily.
Yun Wanye didn't want to argue with her, so she waved her hands helplessly and said, "Yes, yes, I can't get married, is that ok?"
After he finished speaking, his tone changed, a smile appeared on his face, and he said carefully, "Sister, you just said that if the princess cancels the engagement, the emperor will choose a husband for her?"
"cough……"
Yun Wanyao's arrogance was successfully suppressed. She was choked by her saliva and looked at him in surprise with wide eyes.
Let her think about it, how long has it been since he called her sister? It seems that he has never called her that since the little sister was born?
Now, because of this, he calls her sister again?
Tsk, I’m a little uncomfortable hearing it suddenly.
However, this also shows that he was really anxious.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Then thinking about his speechless narcissism before, Yun Wanyao decided to leave him alone.
She pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Why are you talking about this?"
"You are such a stubborn person who has no intention of trying to please the princess. No matter how I talk to you, I won't listen. I don't want to continue talking to you."
"If you have the time, you might as well go and keep my little sister company."
Yun Wanye: “…”
Stubborn...stubborn donkey? ? ? Are you talking about him? He narrowed his eyes and said through gritted teeth, "Yun Wanyao, don't force me to slap you."
It would be fine if she just scolded him, but she also deliberately bullied him and left him alone just to make him anxious. This damn girl really deserves to be punished more and more.
"You dare!"
Although she knew he was just talking, Yun Wanyao still subconsciously covered her face with her hands and glared at him angrily.
Yun Wanye frowned and said fiercely, "Whether you dare or not depends on your attitude from now on. Now let's get back to the point and tell me right away."
"Let me speak, then why don't you ask? If you don't ask, what can I say?"
Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, Yun Wanyao knew that the situation was almost over. If she continued to pull him, this bastard might get so annoyed that he would not bother to pay attention to her.
In this case, wouldn't her plan be ruined?
"Still playing dumb? Of course I asked you to talk about the emperor's choice of a husband for the princess. Why did you suddenly bring this up?"
"There's no smoke without fire. I know you went to see the princess today. Could it be that the princess told you this in person?"
The more Yun Wanye talked, the more annoyed he became.
The emperor has always wanted him to enter the court. If the emperor really starts to choose a husband for the princess now, he will definitely not consider him.
If this is true, then what is the point of all his efforts during this period? Is it just a waste of time?
Seeing his expression, Yun Wanyao couldn't help but want to slap him. She said with disdain, "You claim to be smart, but how can you not figure out such a simple thing?"
"Of course the princess didn't tell me this, but think about it, she is about two years older than me. If the engagement is cancelled, the emperor is both her elder brother and the ruler of a country. Wouldn't he be anxious to find another marriage for her?"
"In recent years, the imperial court has introduced many policies to force marriage in order to encourage childbirth."
"As a member of the royal family, the princess enjoys the splendor and wealth of the royal family, so she must naturally shoulder the corresponding responsibilities. At the very least, she must set an example."
"As a princess, she has yet to get married. How do you think the people of the world will view the emperor and the court?"
"Also, the border is never peaceful. The Northern Di people often go to war with our Great Wu Kingdom."
"Although we have always had the upper hand, there is no guarantee that accidents will not happen."
"Since the founding of the country, every time the war was difficult, the old men in the court would advocate marriage. Now, at least three princesses have been sent to Beidi."
"Your Majesty loves the princess so much, isn't he worried that if he doesn't marry the princess off, if something unexpected happens at the border one day, those old guys will use the same old tricks they used to force Emperor Taizu to send the princess to marry?"
"So, as long as the princess cancels her engagement, the emperor will immediately choose a husband for her, regardless of whether he is willing or not."
Yun Wanye frowned and said arrogantly, "Marriage? How could it be?"
"It is no longer the time of Emperor Taizu. The current Dawu Kingdom has strong soldiers and horses, and many talented generals. It is fully capable of completely suppressing the barbarians and scoundrels. Why would it need to rely on women to exchange for peace?"
"As long as our father and the Yun family army are here, the Great Wu Kingdom will never fall to this point."
The last emperor of the previous dynasty was incompetent and unjust, the court was corrupt and dark, corrupt officials were everywhere, princes and kings emerged everywhere, the political power was severely divided, and the people were living in misery.
When Emperor Taizu took over the world, the country was already in ruins and devastated.
He was busy consolidating political power and cleansing the court, as well as dealing with the princes and solving people's livelihood issues.
Therefore, he is so busy that he is exhausted and has no time to rest.
In addition, several years of internal strife had emptied the national treasury, caused serious casualties among soldiers and generals, and left very few weapons and horses.
It was at this juncture that the Northern Di invaded.
The other side is in its prime, while the Dawu Kingdom has just ended its civil strife and has not yet had the rest and recuperation after the war. Under such circumstances, how can they have a chance of winning?
Therefore, in order to preserve national strength and reduce the loss of troops and property, the Dawu Kingdom blocked the opponent's attack with all its strength and won an opportunity to negotiate peace.
Negotiating peace means giving away cities, women, food, and supplies...
Of course, Emperor Taizu was very capable. In just a few years, he accumulated abundant national strength and launched a counterattack against the Northern Di.
This time, the fight lasted for eight years.
